PD Dr. rer. nat. habil. Nils Bulling

In 2011 I was appointed Akademischer Rat (Assistant Professor) at Clausthal University of Technology. In 2010 I have finished my PhD (thesis: Modelling and Verifying Abilities of rational agents, grade: summa cum laude) and afterwards held a post-doc position for a few month also at Clausthal University of Technology.

I am member of the Computational Intelligence Group. Since 2008 I am chairman of the scientific employees and since 2009 I am assistant of the executive board of the Department of Informatics. I am also organizer of our group's oberseminar.

Research interests

My research is centered around logics and formal methods for multi-agent systems.

  • (Modal) logics
  • Model checking and verification
  • Game theoretical concepts
  • Computational complexity
  • Security and reliability
  • Applications of formal methods
  • Resource-bounded systems
